Why shouldn't his tenure status be reviewed?


Because he is simply expressing an unpopular opinion. The idea in
western culture is that we don't dick people over for their
opinions. That behavior we leave to non-western cultures.


It's one thing to have an opinion. No one is going to be worried about

some
wacko comparing the victims of 9/11 to the Nazis. Hell, there's a nut on
every street corner nowadays.

However, where his employer needs to become involved is when we find that
this opinion is being expressed by a guy who is actually being paid (by

"We
the People") to *teach* this kind of crap to students. At some point you
have to question the mental abilities of a guy who would be ignorant

enough
to draw such a comparison.

THAT is why his tenure is under review -- not because anyone wants to deny
him his rights.


His right to free speech does NOT include being paid to spew his neurotic
drivel.

Interestingly, the same ones screaming about his 1st Amendment rights are
the SAME ones that have been stomping on students and contrary faculty for
YEARS.
